Right now I’m investing in myself. John Willis from SOE said something powerful recently regarding how to best invest $10,000. When asked, his response was was that if you only have $10k to invest in the market or in a business, then you don’t have enough. He said you need $50k minimum. John recommended taking that $10k and investing it in yourself to learn the skills necessary to earn the $50k. That dude blew my mind.

I’m actually not even interested in earning or investing money (the main appeal of permaculture for me is living a self reliant, self sustaining lifestyle that minimizes the necessity of external inputs), but I am very interested in learning skills and saving money.

So far, I’m expecting an approximately 10:1 ROI when I look at what I’ve spent learning, and what I’ll save now that I know what I know!
